Re: Baitcasting Reel

What is the specific question ? How to use the baitcaster ? When you buy the reel, there may be an pamplet in the box, and it has the instructions on how to use it. but some don't have or not clear enough, depends on the makers. Some mechanisms inside some baitcasters are slightly different, so it d...

Re: Used glass bottle questions

Plant tissue culture? Very troublesome. Even in lab environment samples do get contaminated and molds/bacteria will grow if you are planning on growing in liquid medium. Solid medium same thing. Usually you do not use soil for plant culture as soil is not easy to sterilize and fertility of soil is ...

Re: Used glass bottle questions

Glass bottles is still common,I can save a bit if I use recycled one.The Snapple and Ribena drinks are loaded with sugar, can't drink this too often. Beer bottles are seldom clear, but green or brown? I don't have commercial culture medium, DIY formula, but not good enough, always got problems. Glas...

Re: Used glass bottle questions

Is it a necessary to use a glass jar? What about plastic, they're a cheaper alternative. I think glass is prefered for this, some plastic may be suitable, but some are not suitable. I need to boil or steam the content in the glass bottle .The plastic bottle may melt or deform when steamed. Baby mil...

Re: Used glass bottle questions

It is for some plant experiments. Something like this link below , but I usually need the bottle cap too, while most commercial plant labs use aluminium foil as cover.

Re: Used glass bottle questions

family consumes very few of such products, so I'll have to wait a long time to accumulate a few bottles. I think I can ask the neighbours. Rectangular wine bottles may be needed at some point in time, and I don't drink, so will try to source online.

Used glass bottle questions

Hi, I want to ask some strange questions again. I'm thinking of obtaining some used glass bottles. Not from here but probably at a Recycling website. However, I'm not sure how much I should pay for it. How much do you think I should fork up for these containers ? I don't want to pay more than is nee...

Re: fishing

The easier way is to look for this fish at aquarium shop. If you live at northern side, try sembawang park ,sometimes there may be small ones about 2cm, but too much work. It is not easy to acclaimatise them unless you are really good in fishkeeping. There are some small pools of water there, can ca...

handlining question.

If you hook up a fish like KBL in the 5kg size using handline, do you release line or use brute force to pull it up ? line is 25 lb, 40lb or 60lb mono line.

Re: is a leader compulsory for doing the "walk the dog" acti

A leader is necessary for most lures. due to the braided line that is often used and to prevent abrasion from the rocks etc.

Re: punggol park

If your tackle is light or ultralight tackle, you can try those fishing lures from Daiso departmental stores. It is cheap, but the trebles will rust very fast in saltwater. Freshwater is less corrosive, so maybe can last longer if you take care to dry it properly after each trip. I use the fat one a...

Re: fishing peacock bass or pavon in upper selatar

Temensis is best at USR. Usual pb at LSR, Lower Pierce, Kranji( not many though). Bedok reservior and other spots I'm not familar so can't say much. LSR jetty used to be very good for luring, but it is lesser fish these days.
